Reproductive Justice 101

Submitted by Nargis Aslami on Tue, 2017/03/14 - 11:44am

Reproductive Justice was coined in 1994 by Women of African Descent for Reproductive Justice, a group of Black women who recognized that the white-led women's rights movement was not prioritizing issues critical to women of color, and that we must represent our own communities. This workshop will discuss a little bit of the history of RJ as well as give participants a chance to express their RJ stories. The workshop also involves understanding what's at stake for folk who are often left out of reproductive justice considerations such as trans women and trans non-binary folks.
